Unlocking Access for All

Activity description

This ESC Teams is all about access. The activities of this ESC Teams will be twofold: there will be hands on manual work as well as project based work. Together with the volunteering team we are aiming to create a campaign for the Discover EU Inclusion programme, which supports young people aged 18 with fewer opportunities to get hooked for the European project via an accompanied train ride across Europe. With respect to inclusion needs the volunteers support our team in the compilation of a manual for the preparation of young people as well as tutors, who will accompany them. The hands-on part of this ESC Team is dedicated to make our youth education centre accessible to more young people, for example support us in improvements in our centre such as additional beds, outdoor fitness and entertainment area and so on. We are looking for people who are willing to be creative and use their hands in order to allow more young people to benefit from educational and European programmes.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Volunteers will be accommodated in shared rooms with generally four people (towels and sheets are provided) at the European Youth Educational Centre Magdeburg. Since our facilities can also be booked by outside groups, the living arrangements can be subject to change due to bookings by outside groups. The volunteers will receive money to prepare meals with the group (unless meals are provided by the organisation) as well as 6€ pocket money per day. Travel expenses will be reimbursed according to fixed rates according to the distance traveled (10-99km: 20€/person; 100-499km: 180,00€/person; 500

Training during the activity

Handicraft work will be professionally guided, if necessary. Furthermore, pedagogically supervised opportunities for international exchange, networking and team building are offered. Concerning the campaign for “Discover-EU inclusion”, participants will have the possibility to benefit from the expertise and experience of the pedagogical team as well.

Participant profile

We are looking for young, hands-on and creative people who are willing to enjoy a month and a bit living closely with people from all over Europe and not afraid of occasional demanding manual tasks. We are also looking for people with some experience in campaigning and project work or who want to enhance their knowledge in these aspects. Further, it is preferable if you are open-minded, flexible, have a problem- solving attitude, and can work well in teams. Knowledge of English and German is an asset.
